ST Recommendation: Vudu, Flixster, or CinemaNow? - Strongbad May 10, 16:36 9
- Vudu, it can be addicting -- nm - J May 10, 16:59 2
  - I considered once how much it must have cost me to add all those movies and then decided... no. Never mind. -- nm - Mop May 10, 17:02 1
    - Oh ya, I'd have more invested if I was able to do the disc to digital thing. -- nm - J May 10, 17:12
- Vudu. Do any of the UV sharing circles have any space for Strongbad? -- nm - Mop May 10, 16:56 2

Landbeck, not sure if it works for avi but I've done this in the past at the command prompt ... - zork May 10, 16:32 1
- I... don't think that's how WMV files work. But I'm excited to experiment with that. Regardless, Landbeck... - Mop May 10, 17:01
Max, have tried the Hot Wheels dlc for H3 yet? Looks fun but it's pricey -- nm - J May 10, 16:28 4
- Lots of good response from players. $20 itself, or included in the $35 Expansion Pass with the other expansion Blizzard Mountain - Max May 10, 16:43 [youtube] 3
  - Oh, I misunderstood the stand alone for the full pass. Ya 20 bucks isn't bad -- nm - J May 10, 16:52 2
    - ah, wait, I meant "itself" as an add-on to the $60 game. It's not a $20 standalone game. -- nm - Max May 10, 16:57 1
      - No I got that, I already own the game. -- nm - J May 10, 16:58
South Korea is amazing. -- (link) - David May 10, 16:27

  - Hell bring back Comey as special prosecutor -- nm - budice May 10, 16:32
  - How about Ken Starr? -- nm - Beryllium May 10, 16:27

Dinosaur named for 'Ghostbusters' creature found in Montana 75 million years after its death -- (link) - crash davis May 10, 15:49 9
- Nothing lends weight to a scientific discovery like Dan Akryod. -- nm - Mop May 10, 16:00
- RAWR!! -- nm - Peglegpete May 10, 15:57
- Wait, those terror dogs in Ghostbusters weren't Zuul, they were her minions. -- nm - Max May 10, 15:55 4
  - This is incorrect. Zuul is dana's possessor. Vinz Clortho is Tully's possessor. Together they summon Gozer. -- nm - Beryllium May 10, 15:57 3
    - right, but was Zuul ever depicted as a dog? Or just voiceover? -- nm - Max May 10, 15:58 2
      - Oh wait, Weaver does get converted into a dog, I forgot. "~nevermind~" -- nm - Max May 10, 16:00

- They are literally trying to figure out how not turn the cargo holds until into bombs by doing this. IT'S INSANE -- nm - ty97 May 10, 15:39
Army Protocol list. ie, govt. folks with ranks. like on West Wing when Donna was hurt and Josh was at the hospital pulling rank -- (link) - Peglegpete May 10, 15:33 3
- Cool, and strange. Homeland Sec ranks lower than the other Secs, City Managers rank higher than Justices of the Peace (in their own areas) - Max May 10, 15:38 2
  - I'm surprised some jobs have 3 or 4 stars. but I assume if it is a major disaster and only a few leaders are left, it makes sense. -- nm* - Peglegpete May 10, 15:41
  - I think your IM is correct -- nm - crash davis May 10, 15:40

Steve Harvey sounds like a joy to work for -- (link) - ty97 May 10, 15:15 8
- Hot take: He's an asshole for many, many reasons, but the introvert in me has a lot of sympathy for the desire not to be ambushed. nm - ralph wiggum May 10, 17:54
- He sounds beyond frustrated. I bet his therapist put him up to it. - Epiphany May 10, 17:16
- Oh, he's a special kind of asshole. Check out this video. -- (link) - Dignan May 10, 16:00 [youtube]
- That doesn't sound like his voice. -- nm - Max May 10, 15:18 2
  - I think it could be, but as a result of something bad happening that prompted it. -- nm - b. May 10, 15:34 1
    - Atheists. I'm sure. -- nm - Beryllium May 10, 17:10
- heh...one of the responses: " good for him for being clear about his boundaries & what he's comfortable with" -- nm - prayformojo May 10, 15:18 1

  - zero times? -- nm - Beryllium May 10, 15:13
- I'm confused. What are hoons? -- nm - crash davis May 10, 15:09 5
  - You ain't nothing but a hoondog, crying all the time. -- nm - Spawndroid May 10, 15:42
  - Someone who does sick burnouts and donuts. -- nm - Roger More May 10, 15:32
  - hoonigan types -- (link) - Max May 10, 15:12 2
    - heh, I know another definition of it from some australian authors I read some years ago.. - b. May 10, 15:38
    - thanks Max and Roger -- nm - crash davis May 10, 15:34
Like, Jovian, what actions show him to be a Machiavellian genius rather than a stumblebum who lucked into the situation of a lifetime? -- nm - Reagen May 10, 14:57 5
- oh its clearly NOT him. He is a flippin' moron. Its his people. -- nm - Jovian May 10, 15:04 1
  - Their reaction in the past 24 hours tells me it's "stupid" not "lying" - Reagen May 10, 15:10

While checking a work laptop would be a pain. It is encrypted so they get a nice surprise when they try to use it. -- nm - Karl_S May 10, 14:42 6
- Nah, they'll just wipe it and sell it -- nm - decline May 10, 14:47
- Which is good for stolen ones. Crossing the border, encryption could result in seizure. -- nm - Beryllium May 10, 14:45
- Bigger concern in Australia woudl be that at least 1 airline requires you to use your own laptop/tablet/phone to view the inflight entertainment -- nm - Karl_S May 10, 14:43 3
  - Domestically, that the way most of the US airlines are going. Some planes don't have TVs, but they all have or are getting inflight BYOD streaming - ty97 May 10, 14:47 2
    - Until tomorrow -- nm - decline May 10, 14:47 1
      - I expect mutiny if they ever did this domestically -- nm - ty97 May 10, 14:48

This laptop travel ban, are they worried it will be a bom ? I admit I haven't read it - Archer May 10, 14:38 5

- if you feel that way now, you must be especially grateful during ND football season -- nm - crash davis May 10, 14:38 3
  - Oh, nothing takes precedence over ND football! - IrishStephen May 10, 14:40 2
    - Do the players know that? -- nm - David May 10, 14:44
    - until it comes to rankings and bowl bids :) -- nm - crash davis May 10, 14:42
